Ohio Powerball prizes September 2026 centered on a Wednesday drawing that produced winning numbers 9, 40, 42, 55, 65, with a Powerball of 23. Chris Sims reported the results as ticket holders checked whether any match produced a payout from the $207 million jackpot.
The jackpot carried a cash option of $89.3 million. The Power Play was 2x, and the next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026.
Chris Sims on the Sept. 9 draw
Chris Sims, identified as a digital content producer at Midwest Connect Gannett, wrote that the results were in for Wednesday night's drawing on Sept. 9, 2026. Powerball drawings are held three times per week at approximately 10:59 p.m. ET every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, so the numbers arrived on the game’s regular schedule.
That schedule gives ticket holders a short turnaround before the next drawing. A single ticket costs $2, and players can add Power Play for an additional $1.
Powerball numbers and prize options
The winning numbers were 9, 40, 42, 55, 65, with a Powerball of 23. The drawing was worth an estimated $207 million, and the cash option was $89.3 million.
Players who paid for Power Play had the 2x multiplier in play for that drawing. Players can also add Double Play for an additional $1 for a second chance at winning $10 million.
Saturday Sept. 12 drawing
The report does not say whether any ticket matched the jackpot or whether any Ohio prize tiers were hit. That leaves the winning numbers as the only usable check for ticket holders, who can compare their slips against the Sept. 9 results before the Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026 drawing.
For players holding tickets from Wednesday night, the practical step is simple: compare every number against 9, 40, 42, 55, 65 and the Powerball of 23, then look ahead to the next draw.
